FVWM: background rendering of SidePic

2002-08-29 Thread Scott Smedley
Hi all, I've had this problem for a while thought upgrading to 2.5.3 would fix it. In short, the background of 'SidePic' is not rendered when I invoke WindowList from the Keyboard (but it works fine if it's invoked from the Mouse). Best illustrated with a simple .fvwm2rc: deepblue% cat

I don't know Sam. Are you sure none of your num-lock or scroll-lock keys are pressed? For me, I can move my cursor over the root window or any other window and my key bindings for switching pages return (I use focuss follows mouse), so it's really a question of the application getting in the
